THIS COMFORTABLE sweater for little boys is worked in Rowan’s new Summerlite DK, which is a soft cotton yarn with a matt finish. The garment is sized to fit children aged six months to five years. Smart design touches include a buttoned neck opening and
small ribbed collar. The attractive fabric on the body features tiny triangles, worked in a knit-and-purl stitch pattern; the sleeves are left plain, while the hems, collar and button bands are worked in ribbing.
